"We visited this restaurant for the first and last time as it was my husband’s birthday and I wanted to treat him. At the time of booking (online) there was an option to give them additional information and I entered that it was my husband’s birthday. On arrival the restaurant was empty and I told who I assumed was the person in charge that we had a reservation. He checked his computer and indicated that the waitress would show us to our table, she walked in front of us put menus on a table and walked away! No can I take your coats or even move a chair out. We had to put our coats over our chair and sit down, after about 10 minutes the person in charge asked what we wanted to drink and also took our meal order. After around 15 minutes we received our drinks, they had been poured for about 10 minutes and were sitting on the bar whilst they both had an extensive conversation. Shortly afterwards the starters arrived. I ordered bruschetta I was a very large portion but I couldn’t eat most of it as in my opinion it was old stale bread that had been toasted, I couldn’t get my knife through it, I could only eat the middle and that was due to the fact it was saturated in olive oil and the garlic was quite overpowering. I love garlic but this was too much on a starter. My husband had arancini which found dry and in his opinion consisted of the wrong type of rice. The waitress just lifted our plates away didn’t ask if all was okay and continued her conversation with the person in charge. Our main course arrived my husband said that his tagliatelle papalina was okay although the portion size was quite small. I had the fusilli con Gorgonzola and was struggling to taste the cheese, the walnuts were whole and too many. During the main course I requested another soft drink, again this took an age, as they were chatting and inattentive. I actually had to ask the waitress to bring it off of the bar, she had forgotten about it, my meal was nearly finished. Again plates were cleared and no opinions were asked for on the meal. I requested our bill, it arrived with 2 sweets one of which looked like it had been taken out of the wrapper sooked and put back in. I pointed this out to the waitress and she said she would get me another one as it looked disgusting and she wouldn’t eat it, I told her not to bother. Even as we were leaving we we not asked if we enjoyed our meal or making any reference to my husband’s birthday. It has been a very long time since we have had such poor service and customer care and the food was so disappointing. I always like to support local businesses, however, I would not return to this restaurant."

"I was extremely disappointed with my experience at Prezzo. I went for dinner to celebrate my birthday with friends and family on April 1st. Despite the restaurant not being very busy, the service was very poor. We felt ignored by the servers, with only the manager seeming to be attentive. Half of us ordered drinks to be served before the food, while the other half ordered them once the meal arrived. However, no drinks were served until half of our food was already finished. The food was served but left to get cold on our table because we were not given any cutlery to eat with. Despite asking two servers for cutlery, they never returned. The manager eventually arrived and asked how our food was, but we couldn't answer as we had not tasted it yet. I mentioned that this was my third visit to the restaurant and I had bad experiences in the past. I asked for my pasta to be creamy, but it was brought to me dry again. This was the third time I had to send my food back to be recooked, and even when it came back, they simply added some cream, microwaved it, and sent it back to me. I expected better service and tastier pasta from this place. They even forgot to give my son his ice cream that was included in his kids' meal, but later the manager gave us two instead of one (thank you). There were too many mistakes to mention here. This is my third visit in a year, and each time I have encountered problems. I am not alone in my dissatisfaction, as many others have complained about the bland food and poor service. Despite my friends enjoying the lasagne and pizza, I am hesitant about giving Prezzo a fourth chance to make things right."
